702

I missed my 700th post. 700, that’s crazy.

Sure, a good portion of them are from 2012 and 2013 when I was attempting to blog every day, and I imagine the majority of the posts in previous years are some form of BEDA - remember when that was a thing?

It’s also been 8 years. So much has changed in that time. My strongest desire back then was to make it in the film industry, and to go on a 10 day tour of Egypt. Korea had yet to pique my attention, and I was only just starting to rediscover my childhood cartoons that would lead me to Japanese media. My music tastes were based on Harry Potter and Lost, I wrote a book every November and I was trying to make a quick buck by doing online surveys. I was still making and breaking the same old New Years resolutions though, so not everything is different. I love reading through old posts.

*whispers* Stop, Baby Don’t Stop

You would have thought with a three day weekend, I would have been more productive with my time. Nope, I have done a big fat nothing.

I don’t quite know how to break out of it. I think it’s because I’m alone, it’s hard to get the motivation to do anything other than just exist when you’ve got no one else to do anything for or with. Maybe that will change soon. Maybe as the weather gets better, I’ll feel less lazy. Maybe I’ll actually get the will power to stop getting fat.

Not this weekend though - this weekend I made myself a double portion of flapjack.

 

I’ve been playing a lot of NCT lately. I’m pretty hooked on Boss, and Baby Don’t Stop, which I’ve handily embedded above. I was reading through old posts the other day and I really like it when I embed videos, as a lot of the time, I had totally forgotten about them so they served as a nice reminder of what Heather from 6 years ago liked.

I’ve also started a new drama. I liked Just Between Lovers a lot, but the main girl was a bit rubbish because she was a barbie kisser. I did feel for Junho, he really tried. Anyway, now I’m watching Cheif Kim. Junho is in it again as the baddie, and the main guy is Ahn Dan Tae from Dear Fair Lady Kong Shim. It’s ok so far, I’ve snorted with laughter a couple of times, but for the most part, I find him a bit too much. I really want to watch Hwayugi but Viki says it’s not been licensed in the U.K. yet, which sucks, and means it joins the likes of Okay, That’s Love and Witch’s Romance.

Oh how I wish Korean Drama series would have better titles!

Don’t put your skin on snow

Remember how I said I was going to post every day in 2018?

22 posts in January. That’s not bad. 6 in February?!? I know it’s a short month but that’s just taking the piss, Heather. Let’s do better in March, huh?

The weather is horrible at the moment. We had a snow day today, (still woke up at 7 and was more awake than I’ve ever been in my life)  and I’ve very much hibernated inside in the warm and dry. The roads look horrendous, so I’m glad I could just stay in, but I think I’ll have to venture out tomorrow at least to clear the car and paths. I made the mistake of opening my front door, not realising all the snow had blown to build up against it, and then had a snow avalanche in my hallway. I also made the mistake of doing hand prints in the snow with my cat, and then realising how cold it was so having to warm our hands back up on a warm towel.
Lesson of the day. Snow is cold. Do not put bare skin on it.

I watched some of the fancams from the Japanese SHINee concerts. You know I cried, but the boys looked like they did well.

I also watched a few NCT music videos. I’d only really seen chewing gum before, and they looked like such babies that I’d kind of ignored everything else. They are not babies anymore. Its ridiculous how talented and successful these kids are.

Agi sees me typing and thinks it’s a hilarious game. I wonder when she’ll grow out of her kitten playfulness? I don’t want to wish it away, but it’d be nice to type without having a kitten attacking my hands. Or my head.
